Lemon Spaghetti

I got this idea from my friend Katy's blog, Katy's Kitchen. I figured this would be a good dish to start ending the summer with since it is fresh and light.

Makes: 6 servings
Prep Time: 10 min
Cook Time: 10 min

Ingredients:
1 pound spaghetti
2/3 cup olive oil
2/3 cup grated Parmesan
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 3 lemons)
salt and pepper
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1/3 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped

Instructions:
1. Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to the bit, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk the oil, Parmesan, and lemon juice in a large bowl to blend.
2. Brain the pasta, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Toss the pasta with the lemon sauce, and the reserved cooking liquid, adding 1/4 cup at a time as needed to moisten. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with lemon zest and chopped basil. 

I also added dried oregano to the sauce instead of garnishing with basil.
